Dismntling laptop - Toshiba satellite Pro 420 CDT
 

The power-on switch does not seem to work properly. When pressed &held down(as
per manual), the led flashes but nothing else is powered, not even the momentary
flashing of drive lights.

I cannot get the case opened to check inside (without seriously damaging the
case). online search was not very productive and that may be my skills in
searching. Agreed its an old one but it was working a few months back and I hate
throwing out usable items.Besides its a learning experience :-)

Appreciate any hints in opening the case(besides the 5 lb sledge hammer).Thanks
for your help.

hg.
